This trial more than allows them to see if they're getting and if they to continue with the service or not.

When you allow a porn trial to access everything, they rip you off... the member, frauds the paysite owner, then returns only buying trials, your piracy explodes, and so on.

Simply because you don't like the business model, doesn't make it fraud.

No its not a limited trial. You obviously dont have NetFlix or have ever taken advantage of their trial.

You sign up for the 1 DVD a month (and unlimited streams) $8.99 plan. You get one free month. If you like the service you can stay a member and you will be charged $8.99 per month and you will receive THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE TRIAL. If during your full membership you want to upgrade to additional DVD's per month then you can do so.

This is an honest trial. Telling the customer the "trial" is $1 but not telling them the content is extremely limited and then auto rebilling for $40 after 24 hours if they want full access is not.

Whatever happend to offering a service that people actually want to continue their membership? All everyone in this thread is discussing is not allowing full trials because the user will download everything and then cancel. Shouldnt the real concern be that the site in question isnt offering any new content that makes the user want to continue their membership?
